Photography by Tim Scott
The Monterey Car Week is officially underway, and that’s about all the invitation our photographer Tim Scott needed yesterday as he descended upon the Carmel Concours-on-the-Avenue. Here’s your first look at some of the drivers and exceptional machines that now find themselves motoring together in Monterey.
A real question to ask: what do you notice first?
Is it the straw hat-wearing officials, the casually-parked-and-pristine worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, or the participants and onlookers who all look to be having a lovely time? Perhaps it’s something else entirely, for instance, I enjoy car spotting in photographs.
For instance, in just one frame of this gallery, I see a BMW M1, Toyota Land Cruiser Wagon, Toyota Prius, RAM Promaster, Coke-bottle Chevrolet Corvette, Porsche 911, and what looks like a relatively classic BMW motorcycle of some sort.
It’s a bit too much, probably: front-engined Porsches mixing with Fiat Dino Spiders, Shelby Cobras with Cords, hot rods, customs, Jeeps…and the week is just beginning. Which of these cars are you drawn to?
